I Don't Apologize for Loving You

Hank Locklin · The First Fifteen Years [1971]

(Velma Burns)



We're the past time of the gossip

And it hurts me through and through

For there's saying we don't care just what we do

I turn my head and close my heart to what I know is true

But I don't apologize for loving you.



I feel guilty when I hold you for you wear another's name

And I know it's wrong to do these things to you

Each time I kiss you I am adding fuel to the flame

But I don't apologize for loving you.



Maybe I have made you sorry for the first day that we met

With all the things I never meant to do

I know that I will pay throughout a lifetime of regret

But I don't apologize for loving you.



Even when I'm with another you're the one I'm thinking of

Just a habit that I have of loving you

I'm sorry that the other hearts were broken by our love

But I don't apologize for loving you...
